“I ... I’m not sure how.”
“Ihearthat getting lost in someone else is great stress relief.”
“Have anyone in mind?”
“I do, actually. She’s got long hair and green eyes. Five foot six and in front of you.”
He took a shaky breath. “We shouldn’t.”
“Why not? I think we’dbothenjoy it.”
“But Nick . . .”
I put my finger on his lips. “Do me a favor and don’t mention my brother right now.”
His throat worked again when my hand was on his face. “I think ... I think I could go for some stress relief.”
A smile curled on my lips. “That’s exactly what I was hoping you would say.”
Alden’s truckhad a surprisingly big back seat. If it were any other day, I would have wondered how it comfortably held my wide hips despite looking tiny.
But his lips were on mine, so I didn’t have very many thoughts.
Now that I had his attention, I didn’t waste a second. Stopping to go somewhere more private wasn’t even on my mind because I didn’t want to let Alden think too much about this.
I wanted him. And he wanted me, but sometimes his brain made things hard. If I could prove to him just how good this could be, then he would see that we could work together.
He was an incredible kisser—nothing like the boy I’d made out with at the library after school a few years ago. That had been sloppy and forgettable.
Butthis?This was everything. His lips were fire, moving at a pace that I wasn’t used to. I opened myself to him and his tongue dipped into my mouth, letting his taste mix with mine.
I groaned as he pressed his whole body against me. I finally got to run my hands along his muscular shoulders, a dream I didn’t ever think would come to fruition.
His hand drifted under my sweater to my lower back. No man had ever touched me there before, and my skin erupted in gooseflesh.
Alden’s hold on me was tight, but it kept me fromfloating away in my mind. I tightened my hands on his shirt, happy this was real instead of a dream this time.
His other hand was on my hip, fingers right at the band of my leggings. I waited for far too long before pulling away.
“Take them off,” I said. “My leggings, I mean.”
His hand on my hip tightened. “You sure?”
“So sure. More sure than anything else.”
We had to wiggle around to get them off, but I felt more alive once the cool air hit me. Alden’s eyes roamed over my hips, taking in every inch of me. He licked his lips and his hand cupped my ass.
“Sweater now,” I said between gasps.
He followed orders, and his gaze was on my see-through lace bra once my top was off. “Fuck,” he said breathlessly.
When his lips closed over mine again, Alden’s hand cupped my waiting breast. The lace rubbed against my sensitive skin and my nipples were begging for attention.
I reached out to unlatch my bra, revealing my entire top half to him.
His eyes hovered on my breasts for only a beat before he pulled off his pants, showing me the first real-life cock I’d ever seen.
I’d prepped myself for this in the privacy of my room, but seeing it in the flesh and knowing where I wanted it sent chills down my spine. Alden’s mouth claimed mine again, and I could feel his hardnessagainst my leg. Our kisses grew heavier and his breathing stuttered when I sunk my teeth into his lip.
